I hadn’t heard of them previously so checked out their music on myspace. I thought the acoustic Forever Has Come to an End was a good song. Julie’s voice reminded me of Emmylou Harris. Some of their other songs were electric and sounded a bit like Tom Petty to me, like Worry Too Much . Those songs were recorded earlier, prior to their new Written in Chalk album.
Low-Tech Times
I have to admit I didn’t buy a whole lot of albums this year, but my favorite was A Friend of a Friend by the Dave Rawlings Machine. This album came in #18 on the No Depression list, but #1 for the Low-Tech Times.
